What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
The primary efficacy variable was the change in HbA1C from baseline to the end of therapy.
Other efficacy variables were the change from baseline in FPG, serum lipids and weight.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Secondary efficacy parameters were: a mean change from baseline in FPG
Mean change from baseline in fasting insulin/C-peptide levels
Mean change from baseline in lipid levels (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, TG, free fatty acids)
Mean change from baseline for bodyweight.
Health-related quality of life was compared between the baseline visit and the follow-up assessments
